BroadForward Diameter Firewall (DFW)

On the road to 5G, firewall technology will undergo major changes, as service providers have to secure services across 2G/3G, 4G and 5G for many years to come. In conjunction with the introduction of IT protocol in the 5G mobile core, security solutions require a fundamentally different – converged – approach. The BroadForward DFW is the first single-engine software solution designed to work across signaling protocols. BroadForward considers a threat to one domain as a threat to all domains. The BroadForward DFW provides as service providers with a path to gradual migration to a centralized security architecture across Diameter, SIP, SS7 and HTTP – required for 5G signaling operations.
